Sylvinho believes he could play at Manchester City Football Club for a few years.

Although he will turn 36-years-old before the end of the season, the free transfer signing, formerly of Arsenal and Barcelona, believes he could surprise a few over the coming months.

"I could play maybe four or five years more. You never know," said Sylvinho, the Brazilian fullback. "I have a contract for a year, so I am very happy. I will just try to help the team.

“It's a good time to be here at this club. I will help to make the club even bigger than they are. I believe in the project and I believe in the coach. I believe we can do a lot of things in the future."
